idiosyncrasies

i pick the beans out of my chili.
and that's not all.
i like potato soup - but i only eat the broth. not the potatoes.
i'm not a big fan of potatoes, at all. the texture of potatoes gross me out. as a result, i'm incredibly picky when it comes to french fries.
speaking of french fries, i almost always order them but i very rarely eat half of them. i just order them so that i can have a side item. i always have to have a side item when i eat, no matter what.
and it doesn't end with food.
ever since an asian lady at a manicure place told me i have nice cuticles, i'm slightly obsessed with keeping my nice cuticles. usually, when i'm bored, i'm fixing my cuticles.
i fidget. a lot. just ask my students.
when i go to restaurants, if i'm craving a coke, i'll usually order coke and a water. it makes me feel better about ordering a coke, if i have a glass of water beside it.
and i usually drink so much, i'll have to get refills on both.
i snore.
i'm allergic to the cold. seriously. since last winter, my legs and arms will break out into hives if i'm exposed to the cold for very long.
i pretty much live off of zyrtec. without it, i'm a mess.
i prefer falling asleep to the sounds of a television.
i think people can learn a lot about marriage and parenthood from the cosby show.
i know every song on 'the sound of music' soundtrack. and i'm proud of that.

that's me, defined by all... well, some... of my idiosyncrasies.
